Hiya guys - I have a '91 Mazda eunos 1.6 auto that has decided to give me a new noise to worry about !! The other creaks / squeaks and general grumbles I can deal with seeing as she is 24 years young this year - BUT, and this is a big but (!) she now has decided that when she is in reverse or drive and I turn the steering left / right or even go forwards in drive (I don't do forwards in reverse for all the usual reasons !!) she makes this awful rattle - it's not a knock or a bang - it sounds like there are a bag of loose bolts rattling around - any ideas as taking it to the garage to be told it could be this or could be that and charging me an arm and a leg to look at the could be's is not an option right now - any pointers / thoughts greatly appreciated - if you need anymore info let me know and I'll try my best. Thanks :-)

source found and problem solved - a pry bar had been left Ioose in the engine by someone who replaced manifold gasket etc - overtime it rattled itself loose so really lucky it didn't do any damage or worse ! thanks for the answer -p
